The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

There are two royal libraries in Daliat, one is the public library built in the city of Dailisa, and the other is the private library in the royal city.

For a long time after the founding of the country, Daliat did not pay enough attention to knowledge. It was not until after the last queen ascended the throne that all kinds of steam machines sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Personal force was gradually replaced by a large number of steam machine armaments. Instead, this made the previous queen feel a strong sense of crisis.

So she used her own private funds to build the first public library in Daliat, collected books from all over the world, and promulgated a series of policies to reward readers. Build libraries in their respective territories and read books for free.

After these years of development, although the literacy rate, reading volume, etc. of Daliat are still slightly behind those of other countries, overall it has developed very smoothly, and Dalisa's royal library has also developed into a Vinylon is one of the world's top public libraries.

The reason why it develops so rapidly is mainly because the Queen will send a mission every year to travel around the world of Vinylon, not only to discuss various cooperation matters with the power holders of various countries, but also to purchase a large number of important books published by various countries. Over time, public libraries have accumulated millions of books.

However, since it is a public library, it is impossible for the books collected here to contain those very important books. The truly valuable books are all collected in the private library of the royal family, which is the library where Leo is now.

Lia Venistan quickly agreed to Leo's request to search for materials in the royal family's private library, as if wishing that Leo would finish reading the book immediately and leave just like that.

Leo was puzzled by Lia Venistan's change of attitude, but he didn't intend to pursue it, because the change of attitude of the Snow Queen was just in line with his wishes.

In addition, perhaps because she was worried that Leo would not be able to find the materials he wanted in a short period of time among the tens of thousands of books in the private library, she also arranged for someone who knew the library very well to help Leo find books.

It's just that the person who assisted in finding the book was pulled away by Sylvia who was with him at the beginning, because Leo, who owns the spirit net, didn't need assistance at all, and he could quickly find the book he was looking for.

Later, Leo found more than 40 books related to Bingqiao and Renault people in this library, and also found more than a dozen books on occult science that he hadn't read before. Witchcraft, supernatural beings, and more.

Leo's reading speed is very fast, and within two disappearances, he has already read all these dozens of books. Although there is a lot of content about Ice Bridge and the Renault people, there is very little useful content for Leo , a lot of the content overlaps with what he had sorted out before.

After feeling a little disappointed, Leo was about to leave and went to the Renault Museum in the city of Dai Lisa to see if there was any useful information there.

However, at this moment, Sylvia suddenly picked up a book, handed it to Leo, and said, "Look at this."

Leo took the book, looked at the cover, and found that this book was a collection of archaeological reports on the prehistoric remains of the Belem Glacial Lake, which recorded the official and private investigations of the prehistoric remains at the bottom of the Belén Glacial Lake. excavation records.

Seeing this content, Leo immediately thought of his coffin, which seemed to come from Belen Ice Lake.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately took the book and sat on the chair and flipped through it quickly. Soon he found the excavation information about his coffin, and then read it several times very carefully, and then read it again. Read the other information again.

"Is Belen Ice Lake far from Taniko?" Leo asked Sylvia after closing the book.

"It's a bit far," Sylvia thought for a while, and said, "But we can take a detour."

Leo nodded, asked about Sylvia, and then left the private library and went to the Renault Museum in the city.

After Leo and the others left, the assistant that Lia Venistan arranged for them carefully reported the books that Leo and the others had read in the library to his superior, and then his superior reported it again .

"Did he read the archaeological report on the Belén Ice Lake before he left?" Lia Venistan hesitated a little after hearing the news reported by Kerry Faol, and then asked Kerry Fao : "We are in the Belén Ice Lake, is there anything we haven't discovered yet?"

"All the things that can be found, including the fragments of the ruins, have been collected, and there is no omission." Kerry Fao responded immediately, but then he paused, and added: "But the thing is still in the lake. I have put on some disguise, but it is certainly impossible to hide it from Leo Dodd, if he..."

"If he can open that thing, I'd like to thank him." Lia Venistan smiled and said, "That thing is so big, there are only three of them at most, and how many things can be taken from it, The rest is still mine." She said, "If they need help, ask the people below to help them as much as possible, and don't stop them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hearing the order, Kerry Fao stepped back.

At the same time, Leo and Sylvia have arrived in front of the Reynolds Museum on Furnace Street in Dailisa City.

Although it has been confirmed from other populations that this is the Renault Museum, after seeing this museum, the two of them still feel a little skeptical.

Because this museum is so dilapidated that it is even worse than the most common poor apartment next to it.

In fact, when they found out that the location of the Reynolds Museum was on Huolu Street, Leo and Sylvia had already thought that this museum might be a little different from what they had expected, because Huolu Street was Dai Lisa’s poor street, and their place There is no unified heating steam pipe, and the most common iron stove can only be used for heating in winter. Therefore, the original name of this street has been forgotten. name.

The Reynolds Museum is located in the middle of this street. Both sides are poor apartment buildings specially built by the Teresa Municipal Government. In order to allow more people to live in the building, when these apartment buildings were built, they were designed It has become a nine-story building, but in the middle of such a row of nine-story brick and stone buildings, there is a dilapidated wooden mansion only three stories high, which looks really weird.

It’s no wonder that when they asked passers-by about the location of the Reynolds Museum, the man just pointed to the street and told them that the museum was on the road, and they would definitely be able to see and find it.

"Still going in?" Sylvia had no hope of finding out the secret of the Renault people passing the ice bridge from this dilapidated museum.

"Of course, go in. Now that you're here, there's no reason to leave like this." Leo walked towards the museum as he spoke, and Sylvia followed.

The two came to the door, knocked on the door, and after a while, they heard footsteps coming from the house, and then the door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a big beard looked out and asked : "What are you doing?"

Leo explained: "Hello, we heard that this is the Reynolds Museum and we want to take a look. Are you still open here?"

"Of course, of course it's open!" When the middle-aged man heard Leo's words, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of joy, then he opened the door and said to them: "Come in, come in! It's too cold outside, Get warmer in the house!"

The two stepped in. As the middle-aged man said, the inside of the house is indeed much warmer than the outside, and the reason is that the metal cooling pipes under the corner. Judging from the craftsmanship and installation method of the cooling pipes, it should be the owner of the house. build installed.

Middle-aged people are very sensitive. When they saw Leo's gaze on the heat pipe, they immediately guessed what Leo was thinking, and explained: "These heat pipes are built and installed by myself. I use steam stoves. It is also made by myself, and the cost is only one-tenth of that of Weilan Radiating Pipe Company. If you buy a house here and want to install a radiator, you can find me. The price is guaranteed to satisfy you, and the effect will not be better than that of Weilan Bad company."

"Are you from Renault?" Leo asked after looking at the middle-aged man's obvious brown-red hair and beard.

The middle-aged man sighed, and said: "I think I'm a Renaultian, but those guys think that only a pure-blooded Renaultian is a real Renaultian. As for me, who only has half Renaultian blood, even if my physical characteristics and Renaultian blood Also, they can’t be regarded as Renault people.” As he spoke, he added extremely dissatisfied: “In fact, they are just trying to save money, because as long as someone is Renault, even if there is only one Renault, then the kingdom has to pay that every year. Renault people a large agreement."

Leo nodded casually, not planning to talk about this topic with the middle-aged man, and asked the middle-aged man directly: "Can you show us around?"

"Yes, of course!" The middle-aged man nodded quickly, and then led Leo to the display room, and introduced each display to Leo very seriously.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia was in a hurry to ask the middle-aged man about the safe passage of the Raynor people across the ice bridge, but listened carefully to every story about the Raynor people related to the items told by the middle-aged man.

At the beginning, the middle-aged man still stuttered when explaining, but soon he entered the state, and the more he spoke, the smoother he was. It didn’t take long for him to explain the exhibits in the whole room carefully. After the explanation, He still had an expression on his face, apparently he had prepared these explanatory notes for a long time, and there were very few opportunities to use them, which made him feel bored. Now that he has said all of them, he naturally feels extremely comfortable.

"Are these the only exhibits?" Sylvia asked at this time: "I remember that the Renault people had the nickname of the Ice Bridge Conqueror back then. It seems that there is nothing related to the Ice Bridge in these exhibits, right?"

"Oh, so the two of you are interested in Ice Bridge!" Although the middle-aged man looks rough on the outside, he has a delicate heart. When he heard Sylvia's question, he immediately guessed what the two were thinking. So he explained: "In the past, there were indeed many things related to the ice bridge in the museum, but in order to buy this building, I had to sell those things to other people."

"Sold it?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who did it sell to?"

"Sir Blanc." The middle-aged man replied immediately without hiding anything.

"Sir Bronk?" Leo felt that the name was very familiar when he heard the words. After thinking for a while, he confirmed, "Is that the adventurer Bronk?"

"Yes, that's Sir Blank." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "If you go to Sir Blank, he should be willing to transfer those things to you, after all, he no longer needs them."

This Sir Bronque is the author of the ice bridge adventure book that Leo read before. Presumably, he should also know that the Renault people have the ability to freely walk through the ice bridge and find the correct path of the ice bridge, so they want to get the items from the Renault people. Looking for clues, but unfortunately he does not seem to be able to succeed.

After knowing the whereabouts of the things, Leo and Sylvia didn't stay here anymore, and they were about to leave for Sir Blanc's house, but the careful Sylvia asked about it before leaving, the middle-aged man Is there anything else related to ice bridge.

But the result surprised them. The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "I do have something related to the ice bridge here. If you want, I can sell it to you, but the price is very expensive, Brown. Sir Ke didn’t buy it because the price was too expensive.”

"How much?" Sylvia asked.

The middle-aged man quickly reported a number. Hearing this number, Sylvia also frowned, because this number is indeed very large, and this number is enough for a person to buy a house in Dai Lisa's wealthy area. An apartment where you can spend your whole life comfortably.

However, this figure is nothing to Leo and Sylvia, because the price they sold the airship to Daliat was much higher than this.

However, even if this figure is nothing to Leo and Sylvia, they don't want to be taken for a ride, spending such a large amount of money for nothing, but buying a useless thing.

Sylvia said: "Take out the things and have a look, as long as they fit, we'll buy them!"

Hearing Sylvia's words, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, told the two to wait downstairs for a while, then turned and went upstairs. After a while, he saw him coming down with a wooden box in his hand, and then put the The box was placed on the table against the wall. While opening the box, he said, "This thing was passed down from my ancestors. It is said..."

"I want something." Leo said affirmatively before the middle-aged man finished speaking.
